boot campers are not engineers [-2]
Eh, as long as you have a BS in it you're a Computer Scientist imo. Understanding everything from circuits, hardware, Networking and the electrical properties involved in computing is very technical stuff which gets taught to you. Then you add programming, languages, OSses and there is a ton of knowledge specific to the field that separates you from the layman or even casual learner.
Then you get into Data structures, algorithms, calculus, discrete etc. Some specialties go a bit further into other disciplines like physics and various other classical sciences
Ah yes, the barrier to being a scientist is knowing first year calculus and what a hashmap is
"Software Engineer" is a very common title. I would not call myself just 'engineer' without the 'software' prefix because 'engineer' by itself is just pretty meaningless.
“engineer” by itself means Mechanical/Chemical/Civil/etc in my opinion. Calling yourself an engineer as a software person is a bit much. [-80]
Thank you! Some devs are acting like their code review is the same as the process and responsability that in building a bridge. [-1]
Software engineer is a valid title and if you‘re working in a company where the only type of engineer that exists is a software engineer, then it makes sense to leave out the “software”. [... the entire post was too long ]
heckin' valid title
and there's way more threads of arguing if they aren't engineers then why are their titles at work software engineer
